Thinking that Strickland, who never seemed to care that much about becoming champion and has lost fights before and shown it doesn't really affect him, would have a Ronda tier breakdown if he lost the belt is one of the weirdest takes I've ever seen.

"Doesn't really affect him" is a form of cope. He's not Rousey, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have an ego.

Comparing Ronda to Sean is a bit odd. For the most part Rousey was pushed from the start as a superstar. Dana and the world made her feel as if she was indestructible. Sean only became somewhat of a household name recently. I can’t imagine Sean acting the way Rousey did. Yes he will feel bad as anyone would when taking any kind of loss, but saying he might take it that far is a bit of a stretch.

The African champ is going to sleep him sadly.

Here's the thing you guys, in my opinion. Strickland has been so single-minded and hyper focused on MMA he hasn't really had the luxury to sit down to reflect on his life. All the weight cuts, fight camps and media are massive distractions for looking at the past. You're too focused on the future and what's a head of you, you tend to not to look backwards. Now that Sean has achieved what most people don't accomplish, he's finally looking backwards at himself and all the hard work has paid it's due but how he got there is by his insane mindset and when he considers how he got that mindset in the first place he gets reminded about everything. The broken family, the abuse and the neglect all rolls back but he is a great example of putting your pain into a almighty force. You just need guidance and support around you and hope Sean has that. I love the guy.

The reason why you might not want to go after someone who suffered abuse as a child is because it's like pouring gasoline on a open fire.

Sean doesn't give a fuck if he wins or loses. He's not here for the belt, he just wants to fight.

As someone with PTSD+depression, my opinion is that the pressure from everything that's going on with him is probably a lot more than he would admit. He's totally the type of guy you'd wake up one morning and hear he drove his car in to a tree.

​@@Justin-gm2fiyeah that's the point, I have no problem with Strickland being this Unhinged madman, or even an empathetic guy that talks about emotions but you just can't be both!! I like Strickland but ppl are going out of their way using mental Gymnastics to make him seem like the Good guy! If Izzy got into the brawl with DDP ppl would have said "How unprofessional to fight Infront of Children" but now Sean's a saint for not Trampling over Gilbert's son? And ppl saying "DDP went too Far" didn't have that same energy when Sean was making fun of a Former UFC fighter that was killed after he got ran over by a Bus in Brazil

People acting like his vulnerability is gonna change him when these issues and vulnerabilities were always there. Everyone is looking at this as if he just went through something traumatic last year. No this has been a life long ordeal and anyone who’s dealt w issues like his can relate to being able to live thru the hell even tho it doesn’t always look pretty. I heavily doubt sean is feeling any sort of pressure to be any type of way or to perform in a specific way he’ll just do what he gotta do cause that’s what he’s been dojng

Trash talk is like street fighting, there’s no rules.

Sean is solid don't worry

This is video is reaching so hard. They have zero clue what they are talking about.

Dude is the if Chael was born from the mean streets of a trailer park and had the skills to win the belt

Super Sodiq said it best. Sean is revealing himself right before us. Izzy too mentioned it awhile back. Sean is insecure as he never addressed this childhood trauma. But he got hate for it. The UFC should really add therapy for their fighters its needed

Sean responded online saying exactly what the difference between his and Dricus‘s trashtalk was. Strickland usually critiques choices made by people and trash talkes them for these decisions. Examples: sugar Sean who lets other people sleep with his wife, Izzy touching his dog, Izzy racebaiting Dricus etc. Dricus didn’t do that. He targeted a hard past were Sean was helpless as a child. It wasn’t his fault that his father was an aggressive alcoholic that beat him. The trashtalk of dricus was below the belt, simple as that

Peope would be out for his head if he said that to paige but because it's only sean it doesn't matter.

Tbh your videos that aren't a 'podcast' are waaayyy better...

He has been the main event at press conferences for 2 years.

The sad thing is being honest is viewed today as emotionally unraveling. He's probably oversharing,but i worry more he doesn't do a Tyson and bite an ear or something. He will give it his all,i believe. He has a very good coach.

Not a big fan of some of the things he says but as a human being he is not only justified, but right. Actions have consequences and he is keeping it real just as much if not more than anyone in the UFC ever has. Gotta respect imo

People acting like someone who talks about constant thoughts of violence and fighting outside of the cage is "losing control of his emotions" for fighting someone who was literally challenging him to a fight. He even said in a comment yesterday that he respects dricus and has always liked him, but the way he acts is "the sword he chooses to die on" or something of that sorts

Has anyone else noticed how mental UFC has become since the WWE merger? You can't add WWE type sensibilities to real fighting where people are trying to knock the fk out of their opponent. Something bad is going to happen if this continues. This is MMA, not pro wrestling.

Everyone has a shadow, a dark side to their persona. Especially in high-level sports. It's like when Mike Tyson becomes "Iron Mike", Kobe Bryant becomes the "Black Mamba" and Jon Jones becomes "Bones". It can help people reach their highest heights, and also bring them to their worst point.

@@robswystun2766 Yes, Kobe is a little different. But it's in a similar vein. Kobe intentionally created the Black Mamba identity to separate himself from his court case at the time. The idea was, it didn't matter what problems he had outside the basketball court- as long as he was the Black Mamba, he could dominate everyone else. He called it the "Mamba mentality". There's also an awesome article about how, when Kobe would go to dinner he always reserved a seat for the Black Mamba. Which goes to show how essential the Mamba, as a separate identity, was crucial to his success.

@@thehoeynator I cannot believe that you guys are giving Sean a pass. If Dricus had not said anything, you guys would be championing Sean again for another great press conference and 10-8 rounds and what-not. And he was clearly antagonised into replying, the same guy who somehow kept it altogether when Izzy was antagonising when he was on a high from one of his greatest victories, one in which no one was giving him a chance. The only difference I can see is that Leon was not saying anything and hence the Colby pushback. What is more insane is that you guys would still be lauding Sean if Dricus said nothing, even though he was displaying the same behaviour as Colby. That is the real issue here...

It’s almost like it’s a shame he didn’t grow up around people who understood the complexity of a child’s developing mind and how essential it is to help children learn about their own emotions and those of others and how to navigate and cope.

The irony here is that I'm not even a Strickland fan in that I don't align with his politics or other social views. But seeing that he took the opportunity to speak out for kids that come from abuse the way he did makes me see man opening himself up to his trauma and working toward accepting himself, albeit through a forced interaction. Only real difference between him and other people that do that is that he has the spotlight. So it compels me and probably a lot of other people that weren't fans of his before to become fans of what appears to be the *real* Sean Strickland.

I enjoy this channel but I found this discussion to be very insensitive and dismissive of child abuse. Child abuse is not trash talk, Strickland had no choice in whether he was abused or not. The discussion should be about, where do we draw the line on ‘trash talk’ and not why Strickland ‘is losing control’, it’s clear to see why he is losing control. A line was crossed.

I think Sean Strickland just needs a hug and someone to tell him that's fine to be vulnerable.

Sean talks about things people did, like Izzy and what he did to his dog, or Driscus kissing his coach. Driscus bringing up his dad was something Sean had no power over, so I think it’s understandable that he “hit a nerve” by bringing up abuse

There’s a huge difference between making fun of what someone does as a grown man, which has no real effect on their life. Compared to making fun of child abuse. Sean Strickland drew a clear line when he called out Colby Covington for talking about Leon Edwards’ dad. There isn’t a “dish it out but can’t take it” he got knocked out on the world stage by Alex Pereira and owned his loss even while everyone made fun of him. But to sit here and compare Sean making fun of Israel mouth feeding his dog, and Dricus letting his coach grab his cup, to Sean getting abused as a child, and try to pretend it’s a fair comparison is dishonest.
